We all have our nightmare stories of driving this winter. Many thanks to the two drivers who found the massive country road pothole before I did and gave me time to avoid sharing a fate similar to theirs!

Brief quote from yesterday’s Sunday Times: “Politicians in Tuscany have warned that wolf attacks are reaching “crisis levels”, with the Chianti councillor Antonio Vianna calling for a task force ro tackle the animals. “The last three attacks have occurred in broad daylight and near homes and farm buildings, he said. “The wolves are no longer afraid of anything”. ” Last week, Valeria Lottini was chased by a pack of five wolves.”
